The Incredibles (2004) – Opening Scene
In the opening scene to Brad Bird’s 2004 animated masterpiece The Incredibles, the main character Bob Parr is on his way to his wedding when he hears a police call regarding a criminal on the run. From this point onwards, Bob deals with many distractions and inconveniences, as he gets closer to his desired destination.
Whilst this plot has a similar outline to my own, the main concept I gathered from re-watching this clip was the way in which director Brad Bird and editor Stephen Schaffer achieved a fast-paced scene. Whilst this is an animation, there are plenty of techniques that were used to increase audience engagement and initiate the style of the film.
The main idea I gathered from this scene is movement. The camera is constantly

There are two scenes of merit to choose from but the scene I chose to analyse for this aspect of my research is the final scene, or The Climax.
In this scene, the main character Speed Racer is participating in the Grand Prix. There is a lot building up to this race but as a separate scene the pacing and editing is admirable for the way it tells an internal story. On top of this, several themes and characters are revisited throughout this climactic race in order to add emphasis
The Wachowski’s utilise flashbacks, cutaways’ and quick shots in order to add emphasis to the race and allow the scene to flow by quickly. On top of this, like The Incredibles, they ensure that there is constantly movement and new visuals added to the frame for audience excitement. Whilst my final product won’t retain the same sense of frantic intensity that Speed Racer does, I wish to incorporate the use of telling a separate story in a scene, whilst not losing the audience in the current event.
AUDIENCE
I choose this scene because of the high tensions it has I also choose it because it is the climax my favorite
What episode or event best qualifies as the climax of the action? Does the climax resolve the central conflict (supposing there is one)? Are there conflicts left unresolved? Does the climax itself give rise to further conflicts? How is a central theme developed through the climax and the falling action of the story?

In 2013, the horror film The Conjuring first aired. The director of this and many other horror films such as Insidious is the talented James Wan. The main characters in this trailer are Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, two well-known individuals in the horror film industry. This trailer is intended for an older audience who likes to be scared. It's not suitable for young children. When watching The Conjuring trailer, one would notice many examples of pathos. These examples included the eerie music, real pictures from the actual Warren family, word clips that come across the screen, and scary pop up scenes from the film. There are a few examples of logos and ethos that are present in the film as well. The visuals in this trailer successfully

Although admittedly some scenes have a comical side to them, Besson's fast paced action and gruesome images hold the tension and suspense brilliantly. His use of close-ups and camera movements, especially the subjective stance used by the victim, convey the feelings felt by the characters and the way in which they behave. Sound plays a crucial role in the opening sequence because, in my view, it is used to control the level of suspense and intrigue.
